I used Catholic Icing and loved it my son still asks to do the lessons over again I used it for PreK. I think he was 3 years old when we started it. My guy is usually not very crafty and I was surprised how much he liked the crafts. I really liked the layout of the lessons and how everything was integrated. I am definitely using it again with my 2nd son when he is ready.

My only complaint about the curriculum is that each "day " takes a lllllllloooooonnnnnngggggg time if you do everything in the lesson plan. Lacy designed it to be used in a catholic preschool classroom half day setting. What I found was that I could break it up over days. My little guys attention span was only about 30 minutes at a time. So I would do the prayers one day, the craft another, the unit review another, etc.

I love using Catholic Icing for my just turned three year old and four year old boys. I never get through the full lesson in one day but try to get through it over the week (repeating some things each day like the letter of the week, prayers etc). I also read some age appropriate books from catholic mosaic five days in a row (inspired by Before Five in a Row).

It is designed to be for a classroom, so yes, it might be easier to do with multiple children. I did not have much of a problem though using it with my only child at the time. I did cut down parts in the script that she has at the beginning of the book. I didn't do everything in the script. I literally took a black pen and scratched out sentences and revised words when needed. The good thing is that I only had to do that once. Once I had my script the way I wanted it, I just used the same thing over and over again. The actual crafts and activities are totally doable as written for just one child.
